don't forget the YouTube video with Chubbz!

Kyle and Clay get into the era when screamo and metalcore were actual synonyms with our own Tom Carrillo of With Hours Waiting and Mechanical Kids. After we establish his last name, we find out how he got into music, what it meant to him, and what it means to him now. 

Topics include the first time Tom was handed a flyer, how terrible everyone's first band is, the Shorewood glory days, Seann Bowe's impact, the competition for the coolest light boxes at shows, the Rise Records-ization of the scene, his contract with Universal/Motown Records, the intersection of Tom's music and family life, his current work in the music industry, and a shout-out to the artist formerly known as $wervinchi.

What does (and did) the scene mean to you? We want to know! Go ahead and reach out at deathofascenekid@gmail.com and tell us, or ask us something, or request someone for us to interview. Shit, tell us how your day was! We don't care! We obviously don't know what we're doing, but if you think you might be a dying scene kid, too, then you probably have a story we need to hear.

DoaSK Pilot 1 w/Toms Waiting

Here's our conversation with Steve Pitzl of Antics, The Royal, Mechanical Kids, Saved By Stereo and (very briefly) some heavy metal band. We find out what it was like to be a teen signed to a major record label, how the scene went dubstep, and how he stays enamored with music writing and performance. 

The quest continues to chronicle our scene and what it meant to each of us. If you appreciate these conversations or want to take part, talk to us! Let's be dead scene kids together.
